House Sale after remortgage

This solicitor handled my remortgage and HTB redemption and when I came to sell my property shortly after there was a delay of over a month (still delayed, pending correction), initially due to an issue with the land registry, and now they are telling me that there is a charge on the property from the 'Homes and Communities Registry'. This simple task has become extremely difficult and I can't even get a straight answer as to why.

It has been a month since they were advised of the issue but it still hasn't been resolved. Very frustrating - neither I nor my new solicitors can get an update from them. It seems like legal malpractice/negligence but, as mentioned, I can't get a straight answer as to how the issue came about.

If you value your time and appreciate transparency and/or progress updates, I recommend against using this company.

Brilliant service

Christopher Jones was dealing with the sale of my house , this was a really great service and experience every time I called I managed to speak to Christopher I was kept informed of the progression of sale,
From the viewing to the end of exchange and completion 9 weeks 6 days amazing. Christopher stayed in the office until the completion was final 5.22pm with 8 minutes to go on the 31st March. The receptionist were always polite and helpful. I can't praise Gowlings enough. A big thank you to Christopher again . A credit to your company.

Great support during first time purchase

Thank you so much Jonathan and Muneera for your support during my house purchase. This was a great experience, my solicitor and all the firrm's team were very efficient, responsive, helpful and patient. They were very knowledgeable and always found time to chat and explain things to me as a first time buyer. I had full trust in the process which is priceless especially during first purchase. Thank you so much!

Excellent advice and service provided

It was a pleasure to deal with Hassan. He was very professional, informative and offered a first class service. Hassan provided legal advice that was clear and easy to understand which we really appreciated and also kept us up to date with progress by email and telephone on a regular basis.

Our affairs are now in order which gives us peace of mind and we would definitely recommend Hassan - he was a pleasure to deal with.

Worked hard to assist in a difficult auction purchase

The Auction pack was at fault which was picked up early and gowlings pushed this issue and the fault of the Auction company that had failed to list the property correctly.
The issue was sorted at no extra expense to myself thanks to the tenacity of Julie Thomas.
The completion nearly a year later was finalised but Suzanne and Radhika who were always happy to answer my questions and help my own understanding.
